Reconstruction of the Power-Transmission Line Network in the Local District (MZ) Kruševo in Pljevlja

Published on Saturday, 24 May 2008 12:09

Duration: 1 year

Contractor: Cvijovic DOO

Investor: USAID/CHF

Summary: Inhabitants of the typically rural local district (MZ) Krusevo are dealing with cattle breeding, beekeeping, gathering forest fruits and medicinal herbs, and partly with agriculture, fruit growing, and wood processing. In cooperation with CHF/FORS Montenegro the problem of supplying electricity to this village has been solved. The poor supply of electricity in this area has made a negative impact on agricultural production and wood processing. Thus, agricultural producers and sawmill owners were not able to improve production and business activities and considered closing their farms, workshops, and selling cattle, what would have resulted in impoverishment and prevention of economic development in this community, as well as to rural to urban migration.Improving the supply of electricity, the local community created conditions to improve agricultural production and existing businesses, set up new business units, develop entrepreneurship, and thus enable local economic development.This project indirectly promoted the export of goods and services. Through the project, conditions were created for increasing the number of current jobs by 40% and creating new ones (by establishing cow farm, chicken farm, carpentry, car-body mechanic service center, etc.), that will result in increased production and income generation. Providing regular supply of electricity made impact on development of agriculture, wood processing activities, agricultural production services, as well as rural tourism.
